I’m half done. Now i can start counting the days down. Only 5 more to go. I was planning on skipping Sundays then I realized that this type of lifestyle is not wise to do more then ten days. Who knows, I’ll probably get better results if I just push straight thru. I’m taking my weekly picture tomorrow and you’ll get an idea of why I’m loving this 10 day slim down.
Exercise: 40 min Cardio Party
Some days I just can’t sleep any more and I’m ready to get up and exercise. Today I so wanted to sleep in. But, I’m lovin’ my results and I’m very excited to be in shape and be able to have fun again. I found two surfing schools near a resort in San Diego that I like, and priced them out. Now I just have to save up some cash and set the dates.
Everything I Ate on Day5:
Breakfast 9:30am
- 6 egg whites, 1 whole egg

Snack 12:00pm

- 1 cup milk
- 1 apple
Lunch 4pm

Dinner 6pm (Family Party)

A lot of these simple recipes have bell peppers and onions. Those are off the menu for me right now, but feel free to leave them in. I try to substitute another low calorie vegetable of the same portion in their place when possible. So if there were a ½ cup onion in a salad I would just add another ½ cup of lettuce. You could do the same, just in reverse. Take 1 cup (of the 2 cup salad) and substitute ½ cup onion, and ½ cup yellow pepper. Just keep the calories the same but make it taste good. I’ve been avoiding seasoning, because I figured I ate way too much sodium and it would also add some calories. I do however use a little salt when needed.

You are doing great!! You know Mrs. Dash makes salt free, msg free seasoning that that adds really good flavor to your food. So if you ever feel desperate you can take that route. The one I have in front of me, the table blend, goes well with everything, even my morning eggs. It has zero everything except potassium, it has 10 mg, the rest is just herbs. Just a tip to help through the rough patches. Keep up the good work.

Thanks! Seriously! I think I have some Mrs. Dash, I’ll check if it’s sodium free, and if not pick some up. I added some basil to my tomatoes & eggs yesterday and it was tasty.
